Here is what I am learning. These words that we hear in our heads have to be weighed by God’s Word. We are not obligated to accept every thought as truth. We must distinguish between the garbage and the gems.

As it says in 2 Corinthians 10:5, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (NIV).

We don’t just blindly accept whatever fleeting notion enters our heads. We actively wage war by binding and gagging incorrect thoughts. We give those ideas no room to move around in our brains. We give them no authority to effect our subsequent emotions and actions.

This from a blog by a faithful believer looking to God for healing:

In another post, he lists the Scriptures he has been praying–very encouraging!

My classes ended on April 26, and since then I’ve been in a whirlwind of grading with essays, final exams, and projects to deal with. I turned in my grades on Monday, and now my schedule will get back to a more normal pace.
